Form & Verdict
Won two of his first three starts and he made a fine start to his handicap career when second of 18 at York last June (6f, good to firm); two lesser efforts at Ascot followed but he has been gelded over the winter and still has potential for a yard that excels with this type; successful first time out in each of his two seasons of racing.

Lightly raced 4yo who, having been gelded, won two in a row over 6f on AW earlier this year; further progress cannot be ruled out but he's finished seventh on his last two starts and needs something extra today.

Dual turf winner who made it 2-2 on AW when completing a double at Newcastle (6f; off 4lb lower) last month; didn't fire in his hat-trick bid at Kempton but he still has potential and is not ruled out in suitable conditions back on turf.

He has taken well to AW this winter, winning 6f handicaps at Lingfield and Newcastle; up only 7lb for those wins and it's quite possible there is more in the tank; not ideally drawn but Ferrous overcame stall 11 in this race two years ago.

Good record on AW; as good as ever this year, finishing fourth (behind Cool Hoof Luke) in a Listed race at Lingfield five weeks ago and then second in a handicap back at Lingfield last week; stamina for 7f has to be taken on trust (one turf attempt saw him finish tailed off) but he hasn't got much to find on form.
